Abstract excerpt
In topogenesis of membrane proteins on the endoplasmic reticulum, the orientation of the hydrophobic transmembrane (TM) segment is influenced by the charge of the flanking amino acid residues. We assessed the function of the positive charges downstream of the hydrophobic segment using synaptotagmin II. The positive charges were systematically replaced with non-charged residues. Although the original TM segment...
